stolen kiss
Sneaky romantic gesture
A stolen kiss is one taken by surprise—quick, impulsive, often romantic.
The "theft" implies the recipient didn't explicitly consent beforehand, though the phrase typically suggests welcome spontaneity rather than violation: He stole a kiss before she could protest.
The expression frames the kiss as something precious, snatched in a fleeting moment.
